Rhodium is the way to go on any mod!!!!

Rhodium is the new and upcoming thing for the vaping world!!!

Rhodium plated pins gives you a fast response on every hit and stays with consistent string power. Also in proves your mods voltage drop and rhodium will never tarish or wear out. Rhodium is one of the strongest precious metals and highly conductive.

I've already did this to 3 of my nods and it made s huge difference. Did my penny mod, my Silver dragon, and my koi dragon by j2p. All mods have less then a .3 voltage drop.

The process is to do 18kt gold plating, then rhodium plating. Best results with either cooper or brass contacts.

If interested please let me know can do any set of pins from any mod for 25.00. Please email if interested [email protected] or call 352-584-4079

Rhodium-plated pins may last longer, possibly. I don't know. That depends on the thickness of the plating I suppose. But I call bullshit on your "fast response" and "highly conductive" claims. Here's why:

- The diameter of a typical 510 pin is 3mm. That's a contact surface area of 7mm2. That's larger than gauge 2 copper wire, which is able to transmit at least 100A continuously, which is way, WAY more than any current even the best battery can put out intermittently. For comparison, Evolv recommends 18-gauge wiring to drive a 0.1 ohm coil at 40W. Whatever improvement you're bringing to the conductivity improves on something that's already several times more than good enough.

- Even assuming a really dirty or misshapen pin that does increase the overall resistance, if you feel your coil is a bit too feeble, simply jack up the power slightly. All you lose is a bit of battery life.

- You're applying a coat of rhodium on top of a coat of gold, both microns thin. The resistance of both is completely negligible. What's more, the overall resistance of the pin (which is copper underneath) can only be worse than the resistance of the raw block of copper alone. You're just adding resistance with your coating - but so little that it doesn't matter, so it's okay. The only way to do better than copper is to have a pin made of a solid block of something that has a better conductivity than copper.

- How is it giving a "fast response"? What does it even mean? Does the coil warm up faster? Is it just wishful thinking, or did you actually measure it? Hint: I know the answer to that question.

- What's "consistent string power"? Is that for vapers who play the violin?

If you sell rhodium plating as a luxury aftermarket treatment - something that isn't anymore useful than gold-plating watches or mounting diamonds on a ring, but that people like - then that's fine. But don't offer bogus technical claims, because they're quite clearly bollocks.

Yes. What was the question?

Kevin,

"Voltage drop less than .3" ... sounds good, but is meaningless to me in regards to quantifying any potential performance gain from your coating.

First off I'm glad you came up with all that bullshit all by yourself, makes you sound really smart. But anyway your going off opinion and ignorence. I have the proof right in front of me and tested before and after the pins were upgraded. I have 2 koi dragons by j2p one has rhodium pkated pins and the other has the orignal silver plated cope pins. There is a night and day difference. Send me your pins and I'll do the rhodium for free then you'll change your tune. What I mean by consent straight power is when you push the firing button the coil produces vapor alot faster then the stock pins. Just do some research and look at some new high end mods like ( zues,nanos,liberty,precision plus by super T. ) I think they are doing rhodium pins now for a reason. I guess they all must be full of shit as well

Plating *is* useful: it's done to improves resistance against corrosion. It's also more expensive. That's why it's found on good quality electrical equipment. No argument from me there. But it does NOT improve conductivity (unless you compare it to a corroded pin). You may claim what you wish re improved vapor production with a rhodium plated pin, but those of us who know a little something about physics and electricity don't buy it. Sorry...

Reminds me of Kart racing this person that person bought this and that because it would save them a second, After five years you were paying double if not triple to go racing only to gain racing the very same time you were to begin with. But you had a lot less people racing due to the expenses.

It doesn't improve conductivity inside a material, however between materials, such as the negative end of the battery and the pin it can improve conductivity due to the fact that it will not oxidize like the copper or brass pin. It is a worthwhile treatment for a mod because threads will not tarnish nor will firing pins. Less maintenance.

A mod made out of rhodium does indeed have less voltage drop and supposedly less voltage sag. If you wanna be all pretentious, they are the perfect mod. That or those SEVERAL $1,000s of dollars mechanical meteorite mods that supposedly boost voltage and battery life. I decided to go all "pretentious" and get a uber high end mod, but I am still looking at them all lol.

Rhodium is less conductive than gold, silver or even Aluminum.
Of course Alum and silver have oxidation issues.
Gold does not but Rhodium may wear better.
